Indeed - had the engine thrown an error or some such to tell you 'no
don't do that' then you would have modified your practice appropriately.
So, whilst it was (I believe) an entirely unintended behavior, it is one
we will endeavour to still support... We just strongly recommend people
don't use (for reasons I'll explain in another post).
Please announce this on first run if the OS isn't *nix based, or warn
in
the script editor.
One fact regarding this anomaly is that after 6.5.2 it no longer worked
with the preferred // either.
We've done work on file path processing at numerous points over the
versions to try and ensure things work correctly in all instances so
that's not entirely surprising.
